In Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda, he plays a flirtatious pianist; in Red Dust, he stars alongside Oscar-winner Hilary Swank as a South African political activist called before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; in sci-fi feature Serenity, he's a hired killer. Looks like Ejiofor will have film audiences in the palm of his girlie hand. - By Jumana Farouky/London
